One wire lock-up, 4 spd automatic w overdrive into A-body.

Fishing was only OK. I caught and released 24 fish. The biggest was only 3 lbs.

The good news is the core block for the new 408 stroker showed up last Thursday. It's down at the machine shop getting set-up for the bottom end to go together.

I ordered a set of 30lbs injectors at Hemifever's ( he's an SCT Tuner guru) recommendation. They can flow up to 36 lbs at 58 psi, so they should match my target of just under 500 hp. If anyone is interested in the 24 lbs injectors I'm pulling out, let me know. They only have a few thousand miles on them.

The old 5.9 and 727 are coming out this weekend. Once I have them out, I can mock-up the new trans on the old 5.9. and check for proper torque converter positioning, bolt and starter line-up, and any other issues etc.

I'll be sure to get plenty of photos and point out and glitches I encounter.

Here's a pic of the old 5.9 showing some of the EFI plumbing.
